Thank you, Karen! There is definitely a bit of pressure. I wanted to make sure I did a great job by catching the things that Dan would be frustrated to find later. It all worked out really well, and I look forward to being a beta reader again!

It must be fun to give feedback and input as the writer does their final cleanup/edits although I’m sure there’s a bit of pressure too. Congrats on your first time as a beta reader.

I didn’t realize how wonderful beta readers can be! I plan to have beta readers take a look at my second book once I finish the edits. It is a great way to get people who aren’t as worried about hurting your feelings to take a look and give honest feedback.

You are so very welcome, Dan! I’m glad you enjoyed my notes and found value in them! I look forward to working together in the future. My “Writers Off Task With Friends” interview will be coming up in July and I look forward to getting to virtually meeting you, Jenny, and Allison as well!

Right now, I have 2 really good ones, and have had other good ones in the past too, but our lives ended up causing us to not be able to work together anymore. There always gets a point where I feel like I can’t do anymore and I need new eyes on it.
